FINE CAR ABANDONED.
Had Been Stolen from in Front of a
Providence Theatre.
A Rhode Island touring car, practi
cally new, and bearing the registra
tion R, I. 4887. was abandoned at the
local railroad station at about 1
o'clock Saturday morning. Little im
portance was attached to the fact that
the car stood there all night, but when
the lights on the machine were not ex
tinguished as the day wore on and no
one claimed the car, interest in the
matter grew into speculation and ulti
mately into an investigation by Chief
George M. Pilling, who ascertained
over the telephone that the car had
been taken from in front of a Provi
dence theatre Friday night by some
man who was assisted In getting the
machine out of a tangle of cars by the
policeman on duty in the vicinity, the
guardian of the law. of course, believ
ing that he was assisting the rightful
owner. A
Night Officer John Gordon says the
car arrived in Danielson Just before
midnight, coming up Main street.
Three men, he thinks, were in the ma
chine, which was stopped at the Main
street railroad crossing by the driver,
Wrhen the car was again started it
was driven up Main street and. as it
developed during Saturday, U search
for a garage commenced, ,
Adfer Battey on night duty at A,
V, Wood's stable, says the car was
driven there and one of the ocuupauts
asked him where there was a garage,
Mr, Battey says he told the men, none
of whom left the ear, that he would
shew them to Weed's garage if they
would wait until he put on his shoes
and got his light, but while he was
doing this they drove away.
It was just after this that the ear
was abandoned at the railroad station
and three men, believed te have been
the ones who had the machine, came
into the Attawaugan hotel and were
assigned one room on the fourth floor,
all other rooms in the house being fill
ed. The trio were ud and stirrinK

some place unknown, as the first eleo
tric ear of the morning was not due to
leare here when they got away.
The Rhode Island registry of auto
mobiles shows that car 4887 is owned
by W. A. Risk, H42 Smith street,
Providence, and Chief Pilling ascer
tained that he IS the owner of the
machine found here. Chief Pilling took
the ear in charge and had it driven to
his home on Broad street, where it
was held for delivery. .

the home for neglected children in
